Hello. I am looking for someone to share a room with me for this year's national Orff conference in Milwaukee. It's about an hour and a half from where I live; just a little too far for me to want to drive each day. The cost would be $75 a night. ...
Samuel, please forgive the slightly off-topic question---do you use Mastering Music?
Hello, all. I am a new member from New York, and this is my first post. My district purchased MacMillan/McGraw-Hill's Spotlight on Music series for K-8 two years ago. The lessons are varied and engaging, and the series has grade-level MIDI resourc...
Hi Carol! I saw your blogpost. I have fun going on and reading about everything, but I need to get the keyboards first I decided. I have seen the video before of the ipod band. Very cool! My kids showed it to me a few weeks ago. Congratulations on...
WOW. I am currently getting 12-14 iTouches for my classroom and I love these resources. I am going to start an iTouchBand (just got the URL on youtube) next year. I found around six or seven instruments and just completed a blogpost about this. In...
It sounds like you're doing quite a bit with the ipod touch! Thanks for taking the time to share! I will take all of these into consideration when I make my junior high purchases. All of these uses are good to know in case my administration questi...

I have a dvd player that is connected with my projector as well, so I probably won't end up needing the ipods for now.
I have much to learn when it comes to technology. I know very little at this point. On another note,........I would like to kno...
However with A/V cables for your iPod, you can show videos from your iPod also. But the computer works good to. Just the iPod is much more mobile if that is an issue. It is with me.
I now have an lcd projector in my classroom with speakers in the ceiling. I can have my computer sound go through those speakers. So... I can have playlists on my computer. I might not add the IPod now.
Thank you for your advice and how you have ...
I purchased an iPod Touch for use in my general music classes over a year ago. I use it mainly for playlists for the classes. However, i also have a data base program and use it for my instrumental program keeping student contact info on it. As we...

- Hi, Carol: Absolutely. Let me know when you want to meet. Maybe we can meet up at "my" Starbucks on Lake and Waukegan some time. I work at Glenview Community Church throughout the summer. I'll be off next week, but can meet you any day/time after the 27th. Have a great week! -Gary
